Book your Trail with Africa & Adventures on:
africaseven@gmail.com
The Malopeni Overnight Eco Trail is a guided one night motorised adventure trail which travels along management roads in the area to the north-east of Phalaborwa Gate up to the Letaba River.
The route allows the adventure tourist exclusive access to remote areas which are not frequented by many vehicles and bring the true eco-tourist close to the realities of the African bush. Emphasis is on the wilderness, the remoteness and the seclusion of travelling through areas rarely seen by others. The trail will offer a variety of experiences which include seeing different animal spoor, animals, plant and bird species as well as a variety of different landscapes. A maximum of five vehicles limited to four persons per vehicle are guided by an official vehicle. This experienced and professional guide will act as the trail leader and will interpret the various natural phenomenons such as geology, biology, botany as well as historical and cultural information, at regular intervals. All vehicles need to be fully equipped in terms of their own camping equipment.
• The trail starts at Phalaborwa Gate at 14:00 on the day of departure and returns to Phalaborwa Gate the following day at around 12:00 (campsite is vacated at approximately 09:00 after breakfast).
• The over night campsite is unfenced and has a fireplace, ashdrum and two enviro loo’s (toilets with no chemical or flushing component), one for ladies and one for gents. It is a self-catering trail and guests have to provide their own water, firewood, food and accommodation (Tent). Although it is not strictly speaking a 4x4 challenge, road conditions vary from reasonably good to a few places with steep inclines and in the rainy season - muddy patches where guests are asked to engage in 4x4 (if their vehicle has this capability).
• Without 4x4 capabilities, wheels might spin and the road might be damaged and therefore it is recommended that 4x4 vehicles be used on this trail, however high clearance 2x4 vehicles are also permitted. Only genuine off-road trailers or caravans are allowed.
• The trail departs on a daily basis throughout the year from Phalaborwa Gate although in the case of heavy rainfall the route might be changed or even be closed temporarily. The Phalaborwa Section Ranger can also close the route any time for management related issues such as an uncontrolled fire or for anti poaching operations in the area.
• Only 5 vehicles plus the guide’s vehicle are allowed on the trail at any one time, with a maximum of 4 people per vehicle. (No children under 12 years unless arranged prior to departure and this will only be possible in cases where one group has booked the entire trail).
Landscapes
The route commences in the Phalaborwa Sandveld and stretches into Mopane (Colophospermum mopane) Savanna on Basic Soils and the Letaba River Rugged Veld.
The predominant geology formations consist mainly of granite and gneiss. Soils of the watersheds are generally deep and sandy. The Phalaborwa Sanveld is characterized by the occurrence of large numbers of termite mounds, which are comprised of light grey soils. A number of well-defined and deeply incised watercourses pass through the Mopane Savanna from higher-lying areas. The Letaba River Rugged Veld represent the mid and lower drainage slopes of the Letaba River. It is generally strongly undulating with prominent watersheds and deeply incised watercourses.

According to Rosebank Killarney Gazette, there are massive delays on Jan Smuts Avenue, and the flash flood washed away a boundary wall at Johannesburg Zoo. “Some of the herbivore antelope are visible from the road,” they said.
Witnesses said the flash flood had closed down the R24 West from OR Tambo heading into Joburg, submerging cars and trucks under water. “It’s havoc, chaos out there with traffic at a standstill,” said Raymond Joseph.
Several photos uploaded to social media show motorists sitting on top of their cars, or walking away from their submerged cars. Sadly one photo (not shown on this page) showed one flood victim trying to resuscitate another.
The good news, according to Gauteng Weather, is that Wednesday’s rain was moving over the Vaal catchment area. On Monday authorities began moving water from Sterkfontein Dam to Vaal Dam which was dangerously close to running dry.
SAPeople follower Stanza Junior said: “We at the Vaal Triangle are very Happy. Thank you Father.”
Gauteng Weather has issued these flooding tips for people in the area:
20cm of water can sweep a person away
Half a metre of water can float a car
Never drive around barricades
UPDATE: According to local reports, there has been at least one fatality and over 100 cars washed off the N3 in what is turning out to have been one of the worst flash flood disasters in Joburg.
